Solving Problems in Math and Science Education.

Jones, Rebecca

American School Board Journal, v185 n7 p16-20 Jul 1998

The Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) shows U.S. 4th graders scoring above the international average in both math and science, 8th graders slipping in both subjects, and 12th graders scoring at or near the bottom. Research indicates high expectations, a focused curriculum, better-prepared teachers, and balanced instruction would go a long way toward improvement. (MLF)
